2 For each Java project, configure the following settings:

▪ Java Build Path

▪ Java Compiler

▪ Project Facets

▪ Runtime

and then build the project.

3 Create and configure a database connection, see Creating and configuring a database connection.

a In the whole workspace, replace port 9080 (default WebSphere Application Server port), with port 8080 (your Apache Tomcat server port).

b Either copy GlobalStaticWEB-n.n.n.war, SampleCommonWeb-n.n.n.war and SamplePortalWeb-n.n.n.war into the webapps folder under the Apache Tomcat installation path, or deploy the three web projects in the UDTT IDE.

c Start the Apache Tomcat server and access the following URL from your browser:

http://localhost:8080/SamplePortalWEB

5 If you are using WebSphere Application Server:

a Install the SampleWEBEAR file on the server by using the console (http://localhost:9061/ibm/console/login.do).
